Frequently Asked Questions
What type of laboratory furniture is best for schools and universities?
Schools and universities typically benefit from durable, modular laboratory furniture that can support changing class sizes, curriculum needs, and research requirements. Steel casework, adaptable bench systems, mobile tables, and flexible storage solutions are commonly used in educational laboratory environments.
What is the best countertop material for school science labs?
Phenolic resin is often recommended for teaching labs, general science classrooms, and flexible educational environments because it is durable, lightweight, cost-effective, and resistant to moisture and many common chemicals.
Do school laboratories need epoxy resin countertops?
Epoxy resin countertops are best suited for labs that handle highly aggressive chemicals, high heat, or heavy wet-lab use. For many educational labs, phenolic resin may provide the right balance of durability, flexibility, and cost efficiency.
Can laboratory furniture be ADA compliant?
Yes. Laboratory furniture can be designed to support ADA accessibility requirements through adjustable-height benches, ADA-compliant casework, knee clearance, accessible sinks, appropriate aisle spacing, and thoughtful lab planning.
What safety standards should schools look for when purchasing laboratory furniture?
Schools should look for laboratory furniture that meets relevant UL, SEFA, and ADA-related requirements, along with durable construction, chemical-resistant work surfaces, proper ventilation options, and safe utility integration.
What types of fume hoods are used in school and university labs?
Educational labs may use benchtop fume hoods, floor-mounted fume hoods, ADA-accessible hoods, walk-in hoods, and specialty enclosures depending on the type of lab, curriculum, chemicals used, and ventilation requirements.
Can lab furniture be reconfigured as programs grow or change?
Yes. Modular and adaptable laboratory furniture systems are ideal for schools and universities because they allow labs to evolve over time as programs, technology, class sizes, and research needs change.
Does Hanson provide design-assist support for school laboratory projects?
Yes. Hanson supports educational lab projects with design-assist guidance, technical documentation, product recommendations, and coordination support for architects, lab planners, contractors, and school facilities teams.
